TierraCast are sure on a roll! They have added even more top quality pewter findings to their collection. I was sent samples for review. Let me say, I had a hard time settling on some designs as my mind went into creative overdrive! But I managed to zoom in on some favorite jewelry findings from their Make a Statement collection. So read on!
Note that this US company wholesales so check out your favorite jewelry supplier for Tierracast jewelry findings. They can also be
purchased on Amazon as well as online sites
like Fire Mountain Gems.
One thing I liked about this collection are the choices between simpler designs and more ornate ones.
I really love all their open lotus findings! Use these in jewelry designs for yoga enthusiasts!
There are also different kinds of drops available, some of which are crystal filled or empty (fill with clay or resin) :
So I combined both the lotus and a crystal drop - they call this a flame charm- for a simple long necklace.
If I had to choose my absolute top favorite, it would their amazing stud earrings which have loops for dangles. I teamed this particular stud with the Ethnic Fan findings for a tribal look!
Perhaps little more challenging to use are their V and cross links as well as faceted chevron beads.
But I had no trouble seeing arrows with the chevron beads! I used 26 G colored coil wire lengths rather than bugle beads :
Then it was chain mail (byzantine weave) meets cross links!
You do need to gently curve the cross links in a bracelet application so that these sit better on wrists. The tool I used is a nylon jawed
bracelet bending pliers.
TierraCast's in house designers also showed this wonderful creation on their promotional booklet. The chevron beads, cross link and V components were all cleverly used in a single chandelier earrings design:

These double sided ethnic ring fans are also lovely.
Their tassel earrings also inspired me to come up with a tassel design of my own.

I naturally couldn't resist filling the open bezel with a little wire work for my tassel necklace.
